the weirdos would've congregated somewhere else. the strange thing is that it had so much institutional backing. imagine 4chan shitposters leading the cultural zeitgeist with backing from big business, the govt, the news media, pop-culture etc. sounds retarded doesn't it? then why was this stuff so normalised and advertised just a decade ago?

When you look at this comparison it is easy to say that these are obviously two entirely different things. And yes, the ideologies behind them are entirely different/opposed to one another. But there is a profound commonality that is not just gonzo...

Both say to the average person: "You *have* to agree with this. You cannot ignore it. And if you don't, you are the enemy." Shouted at you from the rooftops by those in charge. "We own this place, you just live in it. Don't you dare object." That totalitarian zealotry which lacks any and all confidence that it can be sustained without constant and incessant top-down control and advertisement is identical in both cases. Both of them tell you there is no choice.

Best timeline would be if trumps only crime is sucking horse*** for the meme with the homies while high as a kite and that's the only reason he wanted to bury this shit. US got first furry president before woman president twice.
